Hi,

Has anyone had their pouch disconnected and then reconnected again later on? Mine was disconnected and I currently have a loop illeostomy.

G-Day AJR,  I had a J-Pouch for 18 years and could not wait to get rid of it, and no way would I ever go back to one. My Ileostomy is a life changer, I love it. Regards IGGIE

I take part in these forums almost every day. They and the people that contribute to them have made all the difference in my having the courage to live a normal life with an ileostomy. The people here are marvelous and come from all walks of life and from all over the world. Hearing what others have lived through has really helped me put my own experience in perspective. I highly recommend all ostomates and caretakers of ostomates to come join us.

Hello AJR

There would have to be a non surgical miracle solution before I would go back to a jpouch.

Hi Iggie,

what problems did you have with your jpouch? Why would you not go back to it?
